Hey guys, this is my first thread, I’ve had a few post here and there, but I guess this is my official “Hello!”
I have a 2002 TJ 4.0 5speed, d44 rear, Currie lift with 3” AEV springs, 33x12.5 goodyear Kevlar’s. I’ll be re-gearing soon from 3.75 to 4.10 (although still on the fence about 4.56).
I’m not a rock crawler and “try” to avoid mud, mostly riding trails and backroads to explore, but I like to be prepared for anything reasonable that might get tough. I have a nice set of recovery gear, winch – straps – shackles – etc and know how to use them. I could probably get by without lockers, but I’m thinking if I’m re-gearing, it’s a good time to install them. I’m not made of money, but this is within my budget.
My question:
My plan was to add front and back Eaton E-Lockers when re-gearing, but I’m not sure I need them both. If you had to pick front OR back, which would you pick and why? (I’m looking at the Eaton E-Lockers, so they are selectable without having to maintaining air lines.)
Thanks!
Andy
